Picked up Dexter (well i had to call him something, and yes 'it' is definately a him!) and found him in a different hutch that was filthy with no food and water. The wound on his back is worse than i feared and is oozing puss as i type.
Took him straight to the vet for an emergency appointment. he is skin and bone. He is a largeish x-breed and at about 5 months old weighs in at 1.4kg - there is nothing of him.
The vet gave him an injection of painkillers/anti-inflamatory and has sent me home with baytril to be given 3 times a day.
We also have hibiscrub for cleaning the wounds 3 times a day and fibreplex to be fed via syringe 3 times a day.
I have made an 'intensive care bunny unit in my bedroom and put him in there to settle a bit. The vet suggested plenty of hay/roughage and the fibreplex and only a few pellets for a day or so - how does that sound to everyone? I just gave him a bit of brocolli and he tucked in like he has never seen food before in his life which must be a good sign?!!!
Back to vet saturday morning...
Please send this poor little mite all your healing vibes - he could really use them!
p.s if i take some photo's could anyone post them on here for me???!
